Well I'm debating between this and the CM18. Personally I prefer the look of the limited edition GC16 with the MagPul style handguard. The reason I wanted to upgrade the handguard is because I've seen reviews stating that the handguard wobbles and feels cheap. I've heard a lot of good stuff regarding the CM18, yet I'm not a fan of just pure rails.

So I'm getting this rifle for xmas - http://www.airsoftworld.net/g-g-gc16-30th-anniversary-limited-edition-aeg-airsoft-rifle-black.html and I'm planning on doing some aesthetic upgrades to it (just simple stuff). One upgrade I want to do is to change the handguard to this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magpul-PTS-MOE-Mid-Length-Hand-Guard-Olive-Drab-MAGPUL-PT055450340-/291001935784?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item43c11127a8. From reviews it looks durable and at least it's better than the stock handguard! However, I'm unsure if it'll fit the rifle I'm getting and if there will be space to house the battery. Can anyone confirm my suspicion?

Ok thanks for that! I'll check 'em out!

I'm hopefully going to be purchasing this rifle soon, looks good! http://www.airsoftworld.net/g-g-gc16-30th-anniversary-limited-edition-aeg-airsoft-rifle-black.html Recommended for it is a Vapex 9.6v 1600mAh NiMH mini crane stock battery, but is this the best possible battery that this gun could use or would anyone else recommend any different batteries? Any guidance would be appreciated! Hoping to also get some accessories and a couple of spare mags for it also!

If I can't get UKARA then I'm quite happy to just purchase a G&G in two tone and then cover the sh!!ty bright colour parts in camo tape! :')

My local dealer sells a variety of G&Gs (including the CM16) and they even have an indoor test range so hopefully I'll get the opportunity test out the CM16! :)

Haha thanks for the welcome! Yeah I'm beginning to hear a lot of positive stuff about G&G and at the moment I'm leaning towards purchasing a CM16 or most likely a G&G GC16 Mod0 30th anniversary addition. I like the look of the GC16 and it has a metal receiver - judging from reviews it seems to be a well built AEG and great for skirmishes! However, I obviously don't have UKARA yet, hence I'll have to attend a few skirmishes and hire a gun and hopefully send off for my UKARA. Then I'll look into purchasing a G&G....

Knee padding sounds like a good idea! With the guns aside there's still a lot of clothing and essentiel equipment that I'll need! I'm sure dark CQB is fun and using shotguns and dual pistols sounds interesting so I'll probably try that in the future

Haha so I shouldn't miss you then if you're making a lot of noise! :') Unfortunately I cannot attend this Sunday's skirmish but I should be able to go in January! I shall come and say hi then! I've recently sold two of my air pistols to fund an AEG and other equipment.

Thanks for the welcome! Actually Crawley Surplus Store is my local RFD and it's only a few miles away from me haha! I searched for Skirmish sites and EAG Epsom was my closest, yet I don't really think I'd find a dark bunker too appealing. I'd rather be outside with an AEG with space so I will definitely check out Dogtag Airsoft!!

Wow thanks! I'll most definitely purchase an AEG instead of a Sniper! My local gun dealer sells many G&G products as well as Tokyo Marui! I will consider the CM16 and I'll have to also purchase a CO2 GBB Pistol for CQB. Are G&G a very good company? I've heard little about them and I always seem hear about Tokyo Marui being a fantastic brand. Is this true?

Hello everyone! My name is Will and I'm from Surrey. Recently become interested in airsoft and I'm hoping to attend a couple of skirmishes, gain my UKARA and purchase a gun (the Warrior L96 Mk3 sniper rifle). If anyone has had any experience with this gun and would recommend it then that would be appreciated! Also has anyone ever been to a skirmish at an Elite Action Games site? That is my closest skirmish and if anyone has any info on it or opinions then that would be good!!
